    Hello,
    my question is:  Is Deepin death project?
    - No patch for critical bugs in aplication  and system.
    - No new versions of important aplications  (for example Firefox - in repository is broken version)
    - No updates on web pages deepin.org

    Which branch of Deepin do you use?
    See /etc/apt/sources.list to see if you are on the panda(unstable) branch or lion(stable) branch.

    As announced by Deepin offical, the support of unstable branch has been phased out Sep 2019. You need to switch to the stable branch for long-term support.

    Deepin is not dead but they pay no attention to the existing minor bugs and many unconviniences of the current state of the OS which are a lot. Stale repository it's because of the lion branch. Frankly, the unstable version with its deepin-wm was a way too faster and better in stability than that what we have now.
    Deepin is a pretty no one can argue, but when your whole screen just starting flickering like if you were in a nightclub, or, a presence of a bug lasts from version to version, it is something to think about.
